UPDATE
Stopped working! After six months of faultless use, the Sagemcom 502W has stopped working. The Wi-Fi still broadcasts, but the powerline networking has stopped working. I have other other F@st Plug 501P sockets elsewhere in the house and they are still working on the powerline network, so it must be the 502W that is faulty. Shame, as when it was working, it was great, but expect it to last considerably longer than 6 months!
Trying to contact the seller for an exchange, but no joy yet.
Pity.
Great piece of kit and a piece of cake to set-up.
I have a Wi-Fi dead zone in the corner of one upstairs bedroom in my house and wanted a way to extend the Wi-Fi signal. I originally invested in a TP-Link TL-WA850RE, but this caused real problems when using any Apple device and killed the Wi-Fi for everyone else, so on the advice of a friend, I set-up a Sagemcom F@st Plug powerline network with the 501P DUO 500Mbps adaptor (with passthrough so as not to lose access to electrical sockets) which gave me Ethernet connection for the laptops and Amazon Fire TV box in use upstairs. However, this didn't solve the connection issue when using iPhones and tablets (no Ethernet), so I thought I would try adding a F@st Plug 502W Wi-Fi extender and it worked a treat. Just plugged it in, pressed the pairing button, then pressed the pairing button on the downstairs adaptor connected to the router and hey presto! Strong Wi-Fi signal upstairs! To connect a device to the Sagemcom, you have to find the Sagemcom's SSID and then connect using the password that comes printed on the back of the device. For security reasons, I recommend changing the SSID and the out-of-the-box password, but overall the F@st Plug devices are excellent.
